*The principal amounts outstanding are subject to variable interest rates based on three-month SOFR plus fixed percentages. Therefore, the Company believes the carrying amounts of these obligations approximate their fair values.

**

The fair value is influenced by interest rates, the Company’s stock price and stock price volatility and is determined by prices observed in market trading. Since the market for trading of the 2026 Convertible Notes is not considered to be an active market, the estimated fair value is based on Level 2 inputs.

2029 Term Loan

On May 8, 2024, the Company entered into a senior secured term loan facility of up to $38.7 million (the “2029 Term Loan”) and received proceeds, net of the original issuance discount, of $37.5 million. The net proceeds were used by the Company as part of the full repayment of the 2027 Term Loans.

The 2029 Term Loan matures on May 8, 2029. The amount borrowed under the 2029 Term Loan accrues interest equal to 8.0% per annum, plus a three-month SOFR rate. The 2029 Term Loan provides for interest-only payments on a quarterly basis until maturity. The loan agreement, by and among the Company, Ankura Trust Company, LLC and the lenders signatory thereto (the “2029 Loan Agreement”), contains certain covenants, and the Company was in full compliance with no events of default as of March 31, 2025.

Interest expense on the 2029 Term Loan was $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and it is classified within continuing operations on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Revenue Purchase and Sale Agreement

On May 8, 2024, concurrent with the 2029 Term Loan, the Company entered into the Revenue Purchase and Sale Agreement with the Purchaser Group. Under the terms of the Revenue Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Purchaser Group paid the Company $37.5 million, subject to certain conditions at closing (the “Purchase Price”). In exchange, the Company sold to the Purchaser Group a right to receive 5.0% of U.S. net sales of UDENYCA and LOQTORZI with respect to a specified threshold applicable to UDENYCA net sales and a specified threshold applicable to LOQTORZI net sales

during an applicable year and 0.5% of U.S. net sales of UDENYCA and LOQTORZI that exceeded the specified threshold during that year (the “Revenue Payment”) for each calendar quarter commencing May 8, 2024. The Purchaser Group’s right to receive the Revenue Payment terminates and the Company no longer has the obligation to pay Revenue Payments once the Purchaser Group receives the amount equal to 2.25 times the Purchase Price allocated to each product. The Company may also buy-out the Purchaser Group’s rights to receive the Revenue Payments by triggering certain conditions and paying the Purchaser Group the unpaid portion of the 2.25 multiple on the Purchase Price. The proceeds from the Purchase Price were used by the Company as part of the full repayment of the 2027 Term Loans. On April 15, 2025, the Company paid $47.7 million to buy out the Purchaser Group’s right to receive the Revenue Payments with respect to UDENYCA in accordance with the Revenue Purchase and Sale Agreement.

The Revenue Purchase and Sale Agreement contains certain covenants, and the Company was in full compliance with the agreement as of March 31, 2025.

The Revenue Purchase and Sale Agreement contains an embedded derivative that meets the criteria to be bifurcated and accounted for as a freestanding derivative instrument subject to derivative accounting. The allocation of the Purchase Price to the embedded derivative resulted in a $9.2 million discount on the revenue participation liability. Additionally, there was $1.4 million in issuance costs. The discount and issuance costs are amortized to interest expense over the estimated term of the Revenue Purchase and Sale Agreement using the effective interest method. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, there was $2.6 million of interest expense related to the Revenue Purchase and Sale Agreement, of which $1.7 million related to UDENYCA and is presented within discontinued operations. For details on the Royalty Fee Derivative Liability, see Note 3. Fair Value Measurements.

2027 Term Loans

The Company entered into a loan agreement in January 2022 (as amended, the “2027 Loan Agreement”) with BioPharma Credit, PLC (“BioPharma”) and the 2027 Lenders that provided for a senior secured term loan facility, of which $250.0 million was funded.

On February 5, 2024, the Company entered into a Consent, Partial Release and Third Amendment to the 2027 Term Loans (the “Consent and Amendment”) with the Collateral Agent and the 2027 Lenders. Pursuant to the Consent and Amendment, among other things, the 2027 Lenders and the Collateral Agent required the Company to make a $175.0 million partial prepayment of the principal of the loans outstanding under the 2027 Loan Agreement upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by the CIMERLI Purchase Agreement. As a result of the CIMERLI Sale closing, the Company made the partial prepayment of $175.0 million of the total principal balance of $250.0 million of the 2027 Term Loans on April 1, 2024.

On May 8, 2024, in connection with entering into the 2029 Term Loan and the Revenue Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Company repaid in full all outstanding indebtedness and terminated all commitments under the 2027 Term Loans. The May 8, 2024 payoff amount of $79.6 million included principal repayment in full, accrued interest, a 3.0% prepayment premium fee of the principal amount, a make-whole interest payment and lender fees.

1.5% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2026

In April 2020, the Company issued and sold $230.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 1.5% Convertible Senior Subordinated notes due 2026 (the “2026 Convertible Notes”). The 2026 Convertible Notes accrue interest at a rate of 1.5% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year and mature on April 15, 2026, unless earlier repurchased or converted.

The 2026 Convertible Notes have customary provisions relating to the occurrence of “events of default” (as defined in the Indenture for the 2026 Convertible Notes). As of March 31, 2025, the Company was in full compliance with these covenants, and there were no events of default under the 2026 Convertible Notes.

On April 1, 2025, the Company announced that it had entered into privately negotiated transactions (the “Repurchases”) with certain holders of its 2026 Convertible Notes, pursuant to which the Company agreed to repurchase certain 2026 Convertible Notes from such holders at a cash repurchase price equal to 100% of their principal amount, together with the accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of repurchase. The Repurchases were conditioned upon, among other things, the closing of the UDENYCA Sale. At the closing of the Repurchases on April 15, 2025, approximately $170 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Convertible Notes were repurchased. On April 16, 2025, the Company filed a Schedule TO with the SEC and sent a fundamental change notice to the holders of the remaining approximately $60 million aggregate principal amount of 2026 Convertible Notes offering to repurchase such remaining 2026 Convertible Notes on May 15, 2025 pursuant to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right (as defined in the indenture, dated as of April 17, 2020 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (the “Trustee”), as trustee) at a cash repurchase price equal to 100% of their principal amount, together with the accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of repurchase.

The annual effective interest rate is 2.1% for the 2026 Convertible Notes, and the following table presents the components of interest expense which is presented within discontinued operations:
